We can use the combination of the
model of the vibrating string and
freezing water analogy to help explain how this works. In
the vibrating string model fixed beliefs causes the flow of our
creative life energy to resonate in a particular way to cause a form
to come into existence. In this regard, we can see
creation/Creation as a flow of energy that gets “captured” and
resonates by the beliefs we hold and what we desire to experience.
The captured, resonating energy then create an illusionary form that
we experience as Creation. In the freezing water analogy, the energy
that resonates to form the illusionary form becomes fixed and
frozen. It is now unable to flow into a new creation unless the
beliefs which case the energy to resonate and become fixed are
released or changed.

If we become emotionally attached to the experience we have and hold
it in our memory, we keep some of our creative energy bound in that
memory. It doesn’t matter if it is memory we enjoy and cherish or a
traumatic event we wish to never repeat. Any emotionally charged
memories cause some of our energy to be bound. In fact, any memory
for which we have a positive or negative preference binds a portion
of our creative life energy small as it may be. Although most of our
emotionally charged memories then to be memories of unpleasant
experiences, those that are overwhelming please can also bind our
energy. Whenever we live our life in avoidance of or in preference
to certain types and kinds of experience we are binding our creative
life energy. We are not allowing ourselves to live the full range of
our creative potential. Emotionally hold a memory robs us of the
energy we need to create the next experience. Over a long period of
time, more and more of our energy becomes bound. In many ways this
is what death is all about.

Another way of looking at this is that holding cherished memories
causes us to run toward certain types and kinds of experiences we
perceive will allows us to repeat that past. Similarly, in holding
traumatic experiences we run away from what we will perceive will be
a repeat of the past. In either case, running toward or away from
anything is at the expense of other experiences and limits what is
possible.

Sometime an experience can be so painful to us that we suppress or
literally lose a part of our creative spirit. That is, there is a
part of our creative spirit that become totally unknown if not alien
to us. In these cases some form of
soul retrieval is necessary. That is, we need to go back and
recover that part of our being that we left behind.

Whenever our creative energy within an aspect of our life becomes so
bound so as to not have the free energy to something new, a death
must occur. Hence, the ancient recommendation to learn to let go and
flow with what is - to live in the “now” not bound by expectations
of the future or the event of the past.

Now there is nothing wrong with binding our creative energy and
holding it in a given form. That is how creation/Creation works. We
just need to learn
to dance. Dance between holding and letting go. We need to hold
onto those beliefs and memories that
serve the life we wish to live and let go of those that bind our
energy and rob us of the energy we need to create that
life worth living.
